This "Sandman" will keep you awake tonight!
What is there not to love about this simply wonderful story of the Sandman and our little hero James, who tries to defeat him and save his friend Mary. Caught in a spirit world, James has alot to do to in order to find Mary and escape the nefarious Sandman. I loved the artwork, beatifully drawn and graphics are relatively crisp. Althought the cutscenes are a bit blurry, they involve real actors along with Voice overs. There are three modes of game play: Sleepy Head, Dreamer and (my personal favorite) Insomniac. Trust me, there will be no hand holding and absolutley no sparkles. The HOS are crowded but I loved the artwork and there is interaction involved (some a bit tricky). This game not only offers a good story, but also challenging puzzles and mini-games. There is alot of fun to be had as you collect items, use them and work your way towards freedom. A journal will help you as well as a hint system (unless you are playing the insomaniac level). Finally a chance to work those little gray cells. It took me 10 minutes to decide to buy this gem and because I too am a insomaniac, I will save this game for tonight and try to beat the Sandman and help James and Mary find their way back home.

Yet Another Amazing Hidden Object Game!
This game is simply amazing. I loved everthing about it. Here are my thoughts on the game:
Good Parts:
Objects were pretty easy to find
Very quickly re-charging hint- it was almost as if I never used it
Gripping storyline
The interactive parts of the hidden object scenes
The ghost thing was like a second world
OK Parts:
If anything, it finished a little quickly
Bad Parts:
The puzzles were frustuarating
The part where you had to find the sorcerers cats. They were pesky and just DID NOT want to be found!!
This game was very good, I simply must buy it and find out what happens next!

Less hidden object, than I expected...
After looking at the screenshots, I expected loads of Hidden Object scenes, but I was wrong, this is a wonderful Adventure game with many challenging minigames!

Another good one!
First of all, I'm excited to see more non-CE great games! That said: the artwork is reminiscent of Rockwell paintings which means gorgeous and lifelike, a pleasure to look at. The tasks are definitely not the easiest, the cat-finding is a bit annoying. The hints charge fairly quickly and as there is no guide, you may need them to at least guide you in the right direction. The storyline was also good, making this an all-around good deal. I don't know how long/short this game is, but I'm about to find out.

Fun Game!
I played the demo of this game and had to buy the full game. The game's graphics and sounds are great. This game would suit beginners at HOG's as although there is no guide it is quite easy to follow the story line and the puzzles are not too difficult. It is a shame the game is not a little bit longer, however overall it was fun to play.

fun game
Really enjoyed. Some lighter moments. Liked that I didn't have to spend most of my time in the hos's. The puzzles were fun and I had no trouble finding and getting the cats. Great story. The only thing I really didn't like was that it ended way to quick

Relaxing Hidden Object Game
I haven't completed this game yet, but am really enjoying it. The graphics are nice and crisp. Game play is entertaining.
Hint system for when I get stuck. A nice change.

A Light Wonderful Games
After so many dark games, I loved this game with it simple story and while at first it seems easy it gets harder the further into the game your get.
I found it a little sticky and it does not tell you how many of an item you need. I enjoyed catching the cats and the knight. The HOs are large and easy to find.The most difficult bit is left until the end.
